Abstract
Davenport et al and McDonald et al find no evidence of nephropathy in patients with mild renal failure, even if other common risks to kidney function exist; for patients with more severe renal failure, if we assume that the real chances of contrast medium-induced nephropathy lie somewhere between the estimates of the two articles, the risk is still relatively low-certainly lower than that suggested by publications lacking control groups, lower than those found in articles reporting experience with angiocardiography, and lower yet if prophylactic hydration is used.
